If grandpa was alive right now there ain't no tellin' what he'd have to sayWhy he had fifteen wives a living with him all when he finally passed awayAnd though I've just got two now mama that's enough to keep me satisfiedI haven't had a son yet but the good Lord knows the three of us have triedCause the Pennsylvania Dutch that we once spoke has been forgottenAnd the Mormon way of life is almost goneBut now and then we gather down in Salt Lake City to raise our voices in a joyful songAnd we sing Heavenly Father Holy Mother keeper of our children tiller of the landTake us to the river in a horse and buggyGive us our salvation help us make our standNo ma'am I did not go to see the Reverend Brigham Young while I was thereBut I'm sure glad to know you wanted him to mention my name in a prayerI hope he did not preach about the young folks that refused to make the changeCause if he did I'm sure I got a little more than my share of the blameCause the Pennsylvania Dutch...Heavenly Father Holy Mother...Heavenly Father Holy Mother...Heavenly Father Holy Mother...Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
